Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

If Democrats want to win the political battle over tariffs, they need to get every American to listen to this excellent Ezra Klein podcast on the benefits of free trade.

🔥 PETE ON HEGSETH-GATE: “An epic fuck-up… these are not serious people… if there are no consequences, all the bluster from Trump about merit was bullshit… we deserve so much better…”

Want to join me for this Hands Off event?

Paging @thetattooedprof.bsky.social and @kevinmkruse.bsky.social Hoping you aren’t the end of the video just yet.

Amazing

I can’t make up my mind about this 1933 Germany thing. If that’s where we’re headed, then I should work on my family’s expatriation plan. If not, then I should focus on deciding where my son is going to middle school next year.

I agree. These people hide their pure and extreme evil behind the guise of Christianity. The majority of us know who these people are. Rotten to the core. Souls that are absolutely corrupted. I grew up Catholic. This is all show. It’s all BS. I don’t think that’s even ash. Trump’s Sharpie.

oh noooooo we Spring Forward this coming Saturday.

A constant sense of danger

What a thrill to hear Durham’s own Branford Marsalis perform in Jazz Vespers at Duke Chapel.

It has come to my attention that not nearly enough of you know about Bernd das Brot, the German children's program about a clinically depressed loaf of bread who enjoys studying his wallpaper and eating gruel and whose catchphrases include "my life is hell" and "I would like to leave this show."

Waking up these days is just pure hell.

Swag greeting at my desk this morning. Let’s gooooooooo #DukeCampaign #MadeForThis

Viva la resistance!!!

“RESIST. DO NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR ILLEGAL MANDATES.”Judge Ortiz emailed her EEOC colleagues after the anti-trans EO. She told me, “The unknown was not as scary as being complicit and not speaking up. I can exist on cornflakes and community at the end of the day if it means that my soul is intact.”

I miss Facebook so much. I have about 2 more weeks before my account will be permanently deleted. I feel so isolated. I don’t know.

BEST CANDY My kids love me.

The interim US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a FedSoc member and former Scalia clerk, has done more to publicly expose the corruption of the Trump administration this week at greater personal cost than any elected official I can think of.

Some surprises for my little crew, lovingly laid out with just a tiny bit of hope this evening, coming from only God knows where.

Imma bounce. This is piece of crap time and place to live, and I have privilege=options. Expatriation, here I come.

Onward to the judicial branch! Fuck Congress. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...
